Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit — 5NGM Dark Cinnamon Brown, 1-Pack | Permanent Color, Full Gray Coverage

Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit in 5NGM Dark Cinnamon Brown is a salon-grade permanent hair dye designed to deliver full gray coverage and rich, natural-looking cinnamon-brown color while conditioning hair.

Designed for at-home use or touch-ups between salon visits, this one-pack kit brings the same formula used in Madison Reed Hair Color Bars to your bathroom. The Smart 8-Free composition omits common harsh additives and pairs pigment with conditioning agents—keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract—so coloration aims to feel less drying and look shinier. For optimal results, choose a shade within two levels of your natural hair color.

How reliable is the gray coverage and how long does color last?

This permanent color provides full coverage for visible gray hair and produces a seamless, natural finish. The pigments are designed to remain until new hair growth appears, so recoloring is generally needed as roots show.

• 100% gray coverage claims for targeted and all-over applications
• Permanent formula that fades gradually rather than washing out quickly
• Best maintained with touch-ups every 4–6 weeks depending on growth

What makes the Smart 8-Free formula different from typical box dyes?

Madison Reed’s Smart 8-Free approach removes eight commonly criticized ingredients found in many box colors, reducing exposure to those additives. The formulation instead focuses on delivering pigment plus nourishing components to support hair softness and shine during and after coloring.

• Free from ammonia, parabens, resorcinol, PPD, phthalates, gluten, SLS, and titanium dioxide
• Includes keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract for added conditioning
• Dermatologist-tested and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free certification

How do I use the kit for a root touch-up or full color refresh?

The kit contains everything needed for at-home application: Radiant Cream Color, Conditioning Color Activator, gloves, cap, barrier cream, and step-by-step instructions. Follow the included guide closely for timing and application technique to achieve even, salon-like results.

• Suitable for root touch-ups and all-over color refreshes with the same formula used in salons
• Includes a detailed instruction booklet to guide processing time and mixing
• Tools in the kit simplify application and help protect skin and surfaces

Will coloring with this kit keep hair feeling healthy?

The formula blends permanent dye with conditioning ingredients to minimize the dry, brittle feel often associated with conventional dyes. While color processing alters hair structure, the added keratin and oils aim to leave strands softer and visibly shinier than many standard box dyes.

• Keratin helps support surface strength and manageability
• Argan oil adds shine and softness to colored hair
• Ginseng root extract contributes antioxidant-rich conditioning support

Who this is for: This kit is suited for people seeking a dependable permanent dye that covers gray hair and delivers a warm, dark cinnamon brown shade without common harsh additives. It’s a good fit for those who want salon-quality results at home, prefer formulas with conditioning actives, and plan routine touch-ups every month or so. If your natural color is more than two shades lighter or darker than 5NGM, consult Madison Reed’s shade guidance to choose the closest match.

• Included features: Radiant Cream Color, Conditioning Color Activator, gloves, cap, barrier cream, instruction booklet
• Best practice: strand and skin patch test before full application
• Subscription option: available for scheduled automatic reorders
